You're never too old: Mansfield man bikes 100 miles across southern Germany at age 91

John O'Neill recently went on a cycling trip with his family member through southern Germany this year. The 91-year-old says he likes to ride the Richland B&O trail at least twice a week when the weather is good.(Photo: Brian J. Smith/News Journal)Buy Photo

After being gone for almost a week, O'Neill said he was ready to come home. He lives with his friendly poodle-mix Dusty on the southeast side of Mansfield. He lost his wife of 63 years, Mildred, about three years ago.

O'Neill said he has five adult kids, 15 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.

Prah said she has always looked up to her father.

"He's always been a good example for all of his kids and grandchildren for how to live your life and to never stop doing things, too," she said.
